Status counting

You can download a Network monitoring tool, TCP View from
Microsoft SysInternals. It will show you all connections active &
data information like protocol and port usage.
TCP View available here:

It's normal when you're not actively using a network application
for data transmission to occur in the background. Only if the data
is Malware based do you need to be concerned.

You can use Wireshark to display Ethernet traffic.

Under View:Name Resolution, tick all the options, so that IP addresses
are translated to symbolic names. That may help you identify where the
packets are going.
